Overview

The Canon Pixma MG2900 is an all-in-one inkjet printer designed for home and small office use. It supports printing, scanning, and copying functionalities with a compact footprint. This device uses Canon's FINE cartridge technology which delivers high-quality prints at a resolution of up to 4800 x 1200 dpi. It supports standard USB connectivity and is compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems. The printer features an automatic power on/off system to conserve energy. It supports borderless photo printing up to 4 x 6 inches and can handle various paper sizes including A4, Letter, and envelopes.

Print speeds go up to 7.7 ipm for black and white and 4.0 ipm for color prints. The scan resolution can reach 1200 x 2400 dpi for producing clear digital images. The device operates quietly with a low noise level and has a 60-sheet input paper tray capacity. It relies on two individual ink cartridges—black and color—that are easy to replace. The MG2900 series does not support wireless connectivity or duplex printing, reflecting its entry-level positioning.

Key Advantages

The Canon Pixma MG2900 offers a compact and stylish design suitable for limited space environments. It delivers good print quality with high resolution for both documents and photos. The use of individual ink cartridges helps reduce ink wastage and operational costs. Its energy-saving features contribute to environmentally friendly operation. The straightforward USB connection ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices. Additionally, it supports easy borderless photo printing for high-quality photo outputs.

Limitations

This printer lacks wireless connectivity options like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, limiting convenience for multiple device users. It does not support automatic duplex (two-sided) printing, requiring manual paper flipping. The input tray capacity of 60 sheets is relatively low, necessitating frequent reloads for high-volume printing. The print speed is modest compared to more recent or higher-end models. It uses dye-based ink cartridges which may have lower water and smudge resistance. Also, the scanner is standalone without advanced features like OCR integration or network scanning.
